“I have never had sex with a Marathi Hindu girl,” Sajid Khan allegedly told Jayshree Gaikwad

MUMBAI: Speaking to a national publication on Friday evening, actor Jayashree Gaikwad who has accused filmmaker Sajid Khan of sexual harrasment, said the Bigg Boss contestant told her he had never had sex with a Marathi Hindu girl.

She alleged that Sajid Khan who had invited her to his office for a meeting about eight years ago, asked her if Marathi women were good in bed and gestured with his hands, that he intended to have sex with her “as he was curious about the sexual tastes and preferences of Marathi women.”

According to Jayshree, “She met Sajid Khan at a film party at a hotel in Juhu about 8 years ago, where she was introduced to the actor by some big-shot casting director.”

Sajid asked her to meet him at his office the next day regarding casting for a film project and when she went to meet him, he tried to touch her inappropriately and fondled her breasts and squeezed her buttocks. He even tried to put his hand into her jeans and tried to take off her blouse top, but she raised an alarm and ran out of the room.

Before the above incident, when they were discussing about acting and her work experience, Sajid said he is not interested in her experience in acting, but wanted to know about her experience on bed.

He praised my breasts and said “I had nice juicy mangoes. His eyes were tearing into my blouse and for a moment I felt he had undressed me with his eyes,” Jayashree told this reporter.

Suddenly, he quipped, “Are Marathi women good in bed? I was shocked, but I mustered up courage and asked him why he wanted to know this. He said he planned to f*ck a Marathi girl very soon and even asked me if I was a virgin?”

“I was lost for words and shell-shocked, but I maintained my composure,” she said.

Before touching her body, he said if she gave in to his sexual demands, he would cast her as a second lead in one of his film projects.

Elaborating on the incident, Jayashree said she doesn’t mind doing bold or glamour or even nude scenes or adult films (for OTT), but will not compromise and sleep with a producer or director for work. “Sex for work is not my cup of tea,” Jayashree said.

Jayshree Gaikwad who is a famous actor on the OTT space in India and known as an OTT star with more than 30 released web series for platforms like Ullu, Cineprime, Primeplay, Digi Movieplex, 9XRedHot, Nueflicks, Rabbit Movies, Kooku, Mango Fliks and others,  had accused Sajid Khan trying to put his hand into her pants, fondling her breasts and squeezing her buttocks.

Accusing the filmmaker of sexual harassment and molestation, including demanding sex for work, in an incident about 8 years ago, Jayashree Gaikwad went public and spoke to media persons in Mumbai, narrating her ordeal about eight years ago, when she was comparatively new to Bollywood.
